Bob,

How is the appearance of the table at that setting? Also what video card are you using?

Thank you very much for this table. I'm a big Funhouse fan :)

 

I have a minor issue on my Windows 10 Pro X64 setup. I really enjoy using the Force exclusive Fullscreen Mode.

The thing is the menu with options that pops up after launching the table, I can't click OK to it as the mouse pointer only drags the window around or another option is to close that window.

Is there some kind of work-around for this by chance?

Start the table in Windowed full screen, then once you have your options selected check the "disable on future startup" or similar verbage, sorry not at home.  Basically the first menu will not show again, then you can switch back to exclusive full screen.

Windowed full screen different than exclusive full screen? FTR, I am using the windowed full screen 1920 x 1080 which is the bottom option in the video options. So when the table starts, I can just easily mouse to the options menus and click the next start-up disable. I wonder if something is different on Windows 10. I still use Windows 7.

I can do what jester has suggested, but it's just a pain to constantly switch options if more tables adapt to these menus.

 

Here's the video option I'm using if anyone wants to test.

I'm not a fan of the pop-up menu screens because of this reason.  There are several tables that use them, but now that exclusive fullscreen is becoming more popular I'm hoping most options will just be script configurable.  Of course, there's a chance that multi-screen support in VPX will fix this problem when it is added.

Fantastic table, thanks to all involved

 

I surely missed it, is there a way to switch Rudy face Mod off, except by each time using Right control key ?

How do you hide the DMD in this script?
I can't seem to find the .Hidden =
This script seems to have Contruct code after the table Init section.
Maybe I am just missing something simple here. :)

You should re-download the table, as .Hidden is there:


Sub Table1_Init()
	vpmInit Me
	With Controller
		.GameName = cGameName
		If Err Then MsgBox "Can't start Game " & cGameName & vbNewLine & Err.Description:Exit Sub
		.SplashInfoLine = "Funhouse - Williams 1990"
		.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("rol") = DMDRotation
		.HandleKeyboard = 0
		.ShowTitle = 0
		.ShowDMDOnly = 1
		.ShowFrame = 0
		.HandleMechanics = 0
		.Hidden = 1
		On Error Resume Next
		.Run GetPlayerHWnd
		If Err Then MsgBox Err.Description
		On Error Goto 0
	End With

FYI, I will be uploading a new rev in the next few days to address the ball sticks in the lock lane (hidden hallway).

awesome. Downloading now.

 

I see now there are two DMDs on top of the table. I got rid of the one with the .Hidden = 1

But the other one I can't seem to get rid of. I tried dragging it away in the backdrop setting but it will not budge.

Never mind. It disappeared when I got B2S running. :)

We had to remove the option, since we ran out of option slots.  If you added these lines to the "Sub Table1_Init()" section it should start up as no face rudy all the time.  As soon as you hit you manga save it would cycle through all three again.

Really i don't like this table but recreation is very good looking table. Good work.

 

One question: how do i get brighter ball? Day/Night setting is not helping, do i have to replace ball image?

 

My stoned eyes can't focus on that dark ball. :D


One day i'll build Vitalik statue out of used AMD gpu's.

   You can import a brighter ball . And I totally understand your wanting a brighter ball. Seems a lot of the authors are opting for that dark ball lately. Don't know why, but I changed mine out some time ago. And I might add, this really is a fun table. Very hard and very frustrating, but worth haning in there till you get the idea of what to do. Look back earlier in this thead for some play tips.

 

Actually, I meant to say to look at the GAme of the Week for those tips

What do I change to make the ball brighter?

In Image Manager there is a “ball_HDR” and “Chrome_Ball_29”. Do both of these have to be changed? Do the replacement images have to be the same size?

Regarding the concerns for the dark ball. I did not purposely add a dark ball to the table. The current ball looks good on my cab but that certainly does not mean there is not an issue with the current image. I am pretty sure that the ball is a very commonly used ball.

 

I some one want to post a "brighter" ball image here. I will take a look. The table will be getting another rev because it looks like I will have some very high res colored inserts too as well as addressing the ball sticking issue in the HH.

The table should use 2 different ball images..  One is for a standard ball, and the other darker ball is for the marbled balls.  It should swap them back and forth depending on the ball option you choose.  If not we'll get it fixed up..  nudge nudge... :pokey:
